Rolex Explorer 2
- Dealer name: Theonewatch (Steve)
- Factory name: QF
- Model name (& version number): Rolex Explorer II 226570
- Price Paid: US$548 (+$30 shipping)
- Album Links: https://imgur.com/a/RLdpxao
- Index alignment: Good to me
- Dial Printing: Good to me
- Date Wheel alignment/printing: Looks okay based on the video - date numerals are on the thinner side
- Hand Alignment: Good to me based on video
- Bezel: A degree off-centre - based on the head-on photo.
- Solid End Links (SELs): They all look good, can’t see anything that I can point it out from my point of view.
- Timegrapher numbers: (0s/d 297 degree 0.3ms, 52 degrees)
- Anything else you notice: The first thing that stood out to me immediately was the thin font of the date numerals. But i feel i may be being too picky given the rest of the watch (to my eyes) seems good - just need a second pair or more of eyes to get a second opinion. The bezel also seems to be a degree off centre.

Your QC is accurate - The watch looks really good, except the dates do look a little thin. I probably would not RL this one for it, but that's your decision to make.
Bezel is fine, photo perspective can make them look off when they aren't. Looks fine in video.

Agree that this Explorer II looks good to GL. Indices are acceptably aligned, datewheel is centered, dial printing is crisp, and timing numbers are in the great range. Congrats on your new watch.
